Scholar Mark Levin weighed in on Nancy Pelosi’s ‘decision’ to withhold the articles of impeachment from the Senate, blasting her “obstruction” as an “unconstitutional” act. He advocated for Mitch McConnell to immediately declare the impeachment “null and void,” offering logical reasoning for his argument in a Facebook post he wrote Thursday morning.
“Nancy Pelosi was apparently advised by leftwing Harvard law professor Lawrence Tribe to delay sending the impeachment to the Senate. So she’s unilaterally sitting on the impeachment. This is another brazen unconstitutional act,” Levin wrote on his Facebook page.
“Here’s what Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans must do in response: The Senate has the sole power under the Constitution to adjudicate an impeachment. Therefore, Pelosi is attempting to obstruct the Senate’s power to act on its constitutional authority.
“McConnell should immediately put an end to this and declare the impeachment null and void as the speaker has failed to complete the impeachment process by timely sending it to the Senate for adjudication,” he continued.
“McConnell has no less authority to unilaterally make such a decision than Pelosi does to withhold the administrative notification of an impeachment to the Senate either indefinitely or with conditions. Her effort to cripple the presidency and blackmail the Senate must be defeated.”
IMO, McConnell should take a vote in the Senate and then declare President Trump to be completely innocent and then dismiss the case, with prejudice. In a normal court, that would mean that case could not be brought up again, but who knows what these Congressional idiots will try to do.
